According to People, paramedics were called to treat the actor and he was sat on a chair in the audience area.

Malek seemed to have no significant injuries, though, as he made no mention of it when he later spoke to reporters backstage, the BBC reported.

"I think about what it would have been like to tell little bubba Rami that one day this might happen to him, and I think his curly-haired little mind would have been blown," Malek said in his acceptance speech.

"That kid was struggling with his identity, trying to figure himself out, and to anyone struggling and trying to discover their voice — listen, we made a film about a gay man, an immigrant, who lived his life unapologetically himself.

"And the fact I'm celebrating him and this story with you tonight is proof that we're longing for stories like this."
